Hotel Overview

Off Main Street, the Best Western Bandera Suites & Saloon, Bandera, Texas, is a comfortable Hill Country base with a Western spirit, with free high-speed internet, refrigerators and microwaves, a full hot breakfast, free parking, guest laundry, a 24-hour fitness room, and a business center.

The setting puts a historic main-street restaurant, an old honky-tonk, and dude ranches close by, with hunting, horseback riding, golf, museums, and wineries all around the surrounding Hill Country. The Medina River runs through town for tubing and fishing, and dance halls keep the Western nights lively.

Bandera bills itself as the Cowboy Capital of the World, a Hill Country town where dude ranches and rodeos keep the cattle-drive era alive. Down on Main Street, a restaurant has served travelers since 1921, the oldest continuously running honky-tonk in Texas still kicks up two-steppers, and the rivers and ranchlands around town invite riding, paddling, and a taste of the Old West.
